Hello, my name is Julie Dare.  I am pleased to serve as a point of contact to Los Alamos Public School’s Native Students and to their families. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to get to know our Native students and their families on a deeper level.  My goals as a liaison are to facilitate meaningful events for Native students as well as to connect Native students to valuable educational resources.  I was born and raised in Los Alamos and am a LAHS alumni.   My undergraduate degree is in American Studies and I have a graduate degree in Special Education.  I have served LAPS both as a special education teacher and as a preschool teacher.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns at  j.dare@laschools.net
